Supply Kitchens-

Forth Kitchens can provide Kitchens on a supply only basis where the client is organising their own installation. At your request, we may provide you with details of a contractor to install your Kitchen. In doing so we accept no liability for the installation of your Kitchen and or performance or workmanship of the contractor or any of the associated trades the contractor may or may not provide. Payment for the work undertaken by the contractor is entirely an arrangement between yourself and the contractor. We may provide an indication on anticipated costs, however these are only a guidance. The actual cost is between yourself and the contractor.

If choosing a supply only agreement from us, any plans or orders must be checked for accuracy by you to ensure they are fit for purpose. We recommend you use a suitably qualified person to check your plans and orders as we cannot accept any liability for incorrect measurements, sizes or products ordered.

AvailabilityIf for any other reason beyond our reasonable control we are unable to supply a particular item, we will not be liable to you except to ensure that you are not charged for that item.

Payment and acceptanceYour order is an offer to buy from us. Nothing that we do or say will amount to any acceptance of that offer until we actually despatch an item or provide any services to you, at which point a contract will be made between us.

DeliveryOur delivery courier will make deliveries to you. We do our best to secure delivery within 7 days of the Start date of your Installation order, or on the date requested or specified when your order is placed. Deliveries will be made Monday – Friday between the hours of 7.00 a.m. and 6.00 p.m. unless otherwise notified. Whilst we make every effort to deliver all your items within 30 days of the date of your order or your requested delivery date, we shall not be liable if we fail to do so in part or in full due to circumstances beyond our control. We shall contact you to let you know if we are having any problems getting an item to you within that time.

If you wish to change the delivery date once it is agreed then please give us no less than 72 hours notice prior to delivery.

Further, our carriers reserve the right to take pictures of the product once offloaded at your delivery address.

Ownership of an item and or order will not pass to you until we have delivered the item to you and it has been paid for in full. When an item is delivered, risk of damage to or loss of the item passes to you.

Subject to the other provisions of these conditions we shall not be liable for any direct, indirect or consequential loss (all three of which terms include, without limitation, pure economic loss, loss of profits, loss of business, depletion of goodwill and similar loss), costs, damages, charges or expenses caused directly or indirectly by any delay in the delivery of the Products.

We shall have no further liability under the Contract if, for any reason, you fail to accept delivery of any of the Products when they are ready for delivery, or we are unable to deliver your order on time due to health and safety risks

InstallationOnce you have ordered an installation service the installer will contact you to arrange a convenient time to attend your home to carry out a survey, following which the installer shall agree a date with you on which the installation will start.

If the installation you require is not a standard installation (for example, it includes moving services, connection services or building works) this may incur further charges and you may be asked to enter into a further agreement with the installer for these works.

Prior to installation you are responsible for:

– checking that you have a suitable supply of gas, electricity, water or waste services to be connected to the items you have checked;

– notifying the installer of any particular features which you know about the property which may make the installation more difficult than expected. We will assume that your property is not subject to any listing and that the installation works will not contravene any planning conditions or obligations unless you tell us otherwise.

– ensuring that existing wiring, gas, water and waste pipework within the Property is generally of a legal and good workman-like standard. In particular, you acknowledge that you have checked the walls and floors are sound. You are responsible for locating any hidden wiring or pipework and the Installer shall not be liable for any damage caused by or in connection with any hidden conduits.

– checking that any appliance, accessory or component supplied by yourself is suitable for use with the goods For example, if you decided to retain your own taps, you would need to make sure they are compatible with your new kitchen sink.

You are advised not to decorate rooms (including tiling walls or the laying of new floors) prior to installation in order to avoid minor incidental damage caused during installation.

Throughout the installation you are responsible for giving the installer reasonable access to your property in order that installation works can be completed.

If you are not in on the agreed start date of installation or the property is not in a condition ready for installation to proceed then we reserve the right to charge you a delay charge.

We will do our best to procure that installations are started on the date agreed. However, the start date and completion dates that we give you are guides. Whilst we make every effort to install the items within that time, we shall not be liable if we fail to do so in part or in full due to circumstances beyond our control. We shall contact you to let you know if we are having any problems installing the items within the stated time.

We will do our best to ensure that the installer:-

– performs the services with due care and skill;

– observes all health and safety rules

Care of Kitchen Units

Timber doors:

Wood is a beautiful natural product and the different grains and textures in the wood often means there are a variety of tonal differences in the doors and drawer fronts.

Prior to fitting, lay out the door and drawer fronts and adjust the positions to get the best overall balance.

Exposure to daylight will change the appearance of the natural wood fascias. Each type of timber reacts differently and at a different rate, becoming darker, richer and with more contrast.

Exposure to direct sunlight will bleach wooden furniture. Bleaching of colours can affect your furniture within two months and will be different on each of the door and drawer front component depending upon its position relative to the windows

Installation in recently plastered properties can see the moisture drawn into the timber causing a slight swelling, which will reduce when the relative humidity returns to normal. The degree of reaction is dependent on the timber type.

Vinyl doors:

Vinyl wrapped MDF doors will be affected by heat and water. Care should be taken to ensure the edges of doors are not exposed to prolonged or excessive heat from small domestic appliances (kettle, toaster, etc) and integrated extractor doors are opened with the extractor in operation when a hob is in use. Care should be taken to ensure the edges of doors are not doused in water.

Exposure to direct sunlight will eventually bleach the colours slightly and will be different on each of the door and drawer front component depending upon their position relative to the windows.
